Cinderella 2023

In 2023, we staged a Blitz Club-inspired production of Massenet’s Cendrillon (in English translation) at the University of Bedfordshire Theatre.

This opera is based on the classic tale and includes all the usual characters and some of the events; the sisters, the stepmother, the father, Prince Charming, Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother and a grand ball. However in this tale, after the ball Cinderella and Prince Charming get lost in the woods, and when Cinderella wakes from a deep sleep, she finds herself back at home in bed. Was the whole thing a dream?

Additionally, we were once again invited to collaborate with Luton Music Club to present an opera gala as part of their ‘Music on Mondays’ recital series. We were joined by renowned baritone Roderick Williams, and the evening was hosted by BBC Radio 3’s Petroc Trelawny.
